Yeah, I remember that article from years before the SMO about Ukraine being the international training ground for fascists. So, Azov doesn’t even need to leave Ukraine since they’ve been rebranded as brave freedom fighters like the Contras. They can stay in Lvov to protect in 2034 after Russia reaches the outskirts of Kiev and at the same time train NATO fascists, street fascists for europe and the anglosphere, and the CIA goons who will train other fascists in probably mostly latin america.
Not that the GOP is in a healthy state right now, and I’m sure when they eventually lose Trump it will hurt them. But they probably won’t collapse into nothing and scatter away on the wind like Sauron. Instead it’ll probably look a lot like the Dems post-Obama: rudderless, struggling to find a new center.
They do have a few big internal divisions that they’ll have to struggle through. I think it mostly comes down to the fact that the chud reactionaries and evangelical nut jobs are too powerful in the coalition. They are supposed to be lesser parts of the coalition beneath the big business free market capitalists. Ever since Trump they’ve been a bigger part of the coalition and become too prominent nationally. They’re supposed to be lower level cranks that don’t reach higher than the city council and now Marjorie Tayloy Greene is in congress.
they couldn’t seriously be worried about getting called out on a promises factsheet or whatever, their pet media just lies on those too.
Claim: The sky is blue.
Snopes determines that this statement is mostly false. The sky can be a variety of colors at different times of the day and different times of the year. For instance the sky is black at night. Also, the normal sky during daylight hours is not a typical blue and is instead a variant of deep blue known as cerulean. Please stop spreading Russian dezinformatsiya regarding this matter.
I went in without hope for the election and I am actually upset that the Republicans look like they’ll hold all three branches of government fully. That’s not something I had considered since I’m used to some kind of division inside congress. They can do real freak shit with the whole of the Federal government if they can all get in line. Moderately big if since there are factional divides in the party but still there are valid things to be worried about if in the grand scheme of things the empire will continue on unimpeded.
Anyway, the material conditions drive the world and they will mold and influence you as well. It’s important to build and structure your life in a way that can support your how you want to grow. Basically try to join an organization even if it’s a glorified book club and you might meet good people and restore some of your faith in humanity and also deprogram your liberalism.
Ultimately the fault lies in Harris and democratic leadership who were in charge of the campaign. Harris got like 10 million fewer votes than Biden and you can’t blame that on any one group. They made the conscious decisions that led them to have only a few million more votes than Hillary got almost a decade ago.
If someone is hell bent on a certain race/ethnicity let them know it can’t purely be black or Latino voters fault if this is a majority white country. Are these people going to vote scold white people for sitting out or voting wrong? Democrats seem to lash out against their supposed allies more than the apathetic whites. They just write off the disengaged and target the apparently 20% of African American men that voted for Trump this time. Most of them still voted for Harris and if they went against voting for a black Democrat then she had to have a terrible campaign since that is one of the most loyal voting blocks in the United States.
Also, important to remember that Hispanics/Latinos aren’t a coherent group within the United States. Some are fifth generation jet ski dealers that don’t know Spanish and some are recent citizens who work as day laborers and need their ballot to be in Spanish. There’s too much variety to tie them together like can be done with other groups.
That unfortunately can’t be successful without major country wide electoral reform to remove first past the post style voting. I could only really see that happening if the capitalists think that they need to destroy the current two party system to get better control of worsening conditions. Basically asking the masses to calm down and they can vote some greens and libertarians into power as a treat.
Also worth noting that the Greens (despite their poor performance) appear to have done better than the Libertarians, which I don’t think has ever happened. They did better than RFK as well. So at least there’s that.
Based on the ramblings of my brother and a kind of dumb coworker, rfk was probably a spoiler for the libertarians. The dumb non Trump voters just couldn’t get behind a candidate and the greens got to show them up.
